Good evening, and welcome to the TV 40 big movie.
Tonight.
It was 1954.
Television was live, and Benji Stone landed the job of his dreams as a TV comedy writer.
Alice, what are we seeing?
Alan Swan's movies.
It was the year Hollywood's greatest hero swashbuckled his way onto live TV and into
Benji's life.
He's blasted.
Good God, he's Renfield.
I'm supposed to watch you.
Good, watch this.
Alan Swan may have been the worst person to look up to, but it was the best time Benji
ever had.
First time on television.
See the two stars in my favorite year.
Oh, it's beautiful.
Did daddy see it?
Mr. Macho cry.
Hey, I always cry when I'm hungry.
When it goes great with happiness, something's sitting on the ritz.
Everything will taste better, taste better when it's sitting on the ritz.
When it's sitting on the ritz.
That golden ritz taste makes food taste great.
When it's sitting on the ritz.
Say I noticed you're drinking a Diet Coke.
You must love that one of a kind taste.
Oh yeah, lots of people do.
Now you take Diet Pepsi.
They said they changed, but Diet Coke still beats them.
In fact, in a blind taste test, more people preferred the taste of Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi.
Now to me, that says it all.
This is great.
I love Diet Coke.
You're blonde.
I'm blonde.
You can read French.
Once again, Diet Coke beats Diet Pepsi.
Say, I noticed you're drinking a Diet Coke.
What do you mean I can't use your toothpaste?
It's just for kids, dad.
It's new Aqua Fresh for kids.
It's easier to pump, has a no-mess top, and Tom really loves brushing now.
Maximum fluoride protection to fight cavities.
Gentle cleaners for young teeth, and a zingy new taste kids prefer.
He loves the see-through pump.
Accepted by the American Dental Association, new Aqua Fresh for kids.
It's a complete toothpaste kids love.
Can you believe that?
They're trying to put more raisins in that box of Post Raisin brand.
That box was pretty full already.
To get a bigger raisin taste, you need more raisins.
Now Post Raisin brand has more.
They're more sun-ripened California raisins than before for a bigger, more delicious raisin
taste.
Oh no.
You'll have to make the box bigger before you put any more raisins in it.
Now get the bigger raisin taste in Post Raisin brand.
What'll it be, ladies?
You must be from another planet.
What makes you say that?
Hasn't everyone on Earth heard that Sprite tastes better than 7up?
Sprite.
Yeah, it even won the taste test.
Test.
The one where more people preferred that great Lyman taste?
Sprite.
This civilization is more advanced than we thought.
The women taste the flight.
General, let me lead your expedition to find the lost city of Damiat.
Smidley, your intelligence, reading, and expertise in jungle survival are indisputable, but I
need more to convince me.

bittersweet chocolate.
I'll handle this, Colonel.
I know exactly what to say.
All-natural mounds, it speaks well of you.

Loving care, lotion, or mousse, the gentlest way to color your gray.
Why don't you wash that gray right out of your head?
And keep your color.

Anne McKenzie interior decorator for end dust.
I love good furniture, but to take care of it, I don't recommend using spray wax too often
because wax can build up.
Use it occasionally for a wax shine.
Regularly you use end dust, original and lemon end dust with expressed scent.
It cleans without smearing wax build up because there's no wax in it.
End dust leaves a clean shine and a fresh scent.
These spray wax for occasional waxing use end dust for day to day cleaning.
To the question.
